The solar plexus chakra is the third chakra.

It has the energy our emotions and their force.

It is all about personal power, confidence, and courage.

The function of the solar plexus chakra is to vitalise the sympathetic nervous system and maintain digestive processes and metabolism.

If we do not feel like we have a valued place within this world our solar plexus chakra can become unbalanced.

If the solar plexus chakra is blocked or underactive we may lake self-esteem and become co-dependent on others.

If the solar plexus chakra is too open or overactive we may become angry, stubborn and overly critical of ourselves and others.

When this chakra is in balance we are outgoing, cheerful with a healthy respect for ourselves and others.
